The textile rebels . Plant it or wear itNature and the animal kingdom are always in the spotlight of the current trends. There are those who have green fingers and those who decide that botany and love for plants shall be worn. “The textile rebels” present a collection where vegetal-inspired printings are linked through geometries and universal entropies. If it was all conceived from a big bang, a small particle can turn into a flower… at WHITE.

WHITE Hunting . Oriental complementsAs usual, a sophisticated touch comes from the Orient, the protagonists of this section stand out for the refinement and elegance in the expression of their style. Hats and waistcoat or a beautiful jacket over a t-shirt are enough to point out two masters of bearing at the last show.

Unseener Container . If lines define the third dimensionInvisible cases for a collection that has minimal style and high-quality Italian raw materials as its strong point, Unseener Containers is a totally Made in Italy brand that at the last edition of the show proposed primary colours and simple lines, where anonymity and the No Logo trend become a manifesto that welcomes the personal universes as a silent and precious container.

WHITE HUNTING . Black is back … on your feetWhether you love high or flat heels, shoes always remain one of the greatest pleasures of an outfit. For a lover of all variants of shoes like me, this selection reveals the character of our visitors. Black still remains one of the most popular tones though some new entries with astonishing textures this year have offered chromatic contaminations like never before.

Alysonoldoni . When the case recalls the contentCosmetics and beauty companies have always paid a lot of attention to the design of their creations. If a perfume gives space to imagination, its pack tells a lot about the personality of fragrances and of the olfactory references proposed. Here, Alysonoldoni chooses lines that despite their minimal traits and bright metals reveals the graceful tones of the essence.

Katsuyukikodama . Tactile vibrations create design collectionsLeather as a material to model and through which old shapes of haversacks can be recreated, here becoming precious packs and bags with a refined and modern taste. Volumes change and merge in Katsuyukikodama‘s collection with the material choice, which defines new characters in which personality becomes unique through its tactile vibrations.

Simple lines and research in materials, Rachel Zoe knows how to fill the hearts of shoes lovers with joy – those who would have hundreds of pairs, at home, even displayed in a window, just to admire them. The leathers chosen and the different solutions adopted are outstanding, featuring ankle boots with different heights that play with fastenings ranging from buckles to zips and laces. Each one has its variant, a collection that meets the tastes of different generations, a strong point for a brand that is already a big, international success.

Broad-brimmed hats have become very popular, besides being very elegant they offer a double use: they’re stylish and protect against atmospheric agents. Clearly, this refers to the past, we can actually wear raffia or cotton hats, perfect for the summer. Protection from the sun will be an imperative for a golden tan, never too extreme.

After having seen any possible merchandise product with a sophisticated and minimal design, typical of the brand Pantone, here are new padded jackets branded Pantone Universe. If the starting concept is strong, its application will more easily adapt to any context (one of the first rules of corporate image). A simple image, clearly based on colours and the classic white band to distinguish the brand on a neutral background, WHITE is the highlight of all hues.

Our section dedicated to accessories just needed a brief parade of hats, as lately we have been focussing too much on shoes, then we thought to select some images to highlight hat in all its variants. It doesn’t mater if they are made of wool or felt, the change in progress sees a scarf changing on the occasion, revealing a sweet smile.

Fullspot . An onion that does not make you cryOne of the products that stroke me of this brand is the ABS onion, Fullspot company has originated from the creation of O’Clock watch, and it is now reviewing a whole series of other accessories. Beside the Limited series of wrist and pocket watches, a wide range of textures and colours was presented at WHITE, from camouflage to brighter tones. It all ends up with bags and accessories, always through polymers that have made the brand famous and with modular bags, for which you can choose the handle that most resembles your mood.

WHITE Details . Brothel and soldier boots are synchronizedOn a day consecrated to listening the Joy Division I could but not write a post a dedicated to the typical icons of punk culture, ska, new wave, grunge, rock etc. Some of these clearly belong to other pre and post punk sub-cultures, the Brothel creeper models are icons dating back to a precedent decade, but some of the WHITE visitors share, with evident exceptions, the fact of having worn shoes with a military origin.

Jean Michel Cazabat . Fringes and levels take elegant stepsThe inspiration point that has raised Jean Michel Cazabat’s gift for shoes design could be fully trendy; infatuated with string and cork shoes worn by the women of his village, the latest trend perfectly matches his starting point. I’ve just bought a pair of shoes made of string and raffia that evoke the designer’s creativity. At the February edition of WHITE, the Cazabat collection proposes leather fringes on three levels, an ankle boot which is conferred dynamisms by the alternated movement of steps, and then fringes become intersections that fasten round the foot on dark colours and contrasting silver tones.

Usually, the WHITE visitors are photographed outside the show, in this brief session we will finally see the protagonists of the February edition inside. I’m not talking about weather though a few days ago, during Salone del Mobile, I met a friend from Berlin whom I exclusive spoke about weather with: they had snow until last week, then we are lucky.
